Building A Desert
by Michelle Fleck
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I'm a painter living in San Francisco. I spent the first eighteen years of life growing up in Whittier, CA and moved to SF to study fine arts at San Francisco State University. I graduated in 2009 and continue to create and show my work.
My work focuses on the relationship between man and the landscape. I'm interested in how our desire to replace what is old and dated is manifested in the urban landscape. My paintings serve as snapshots of an ongoing cycle of wear and replacement, showing our constant reinvention of the landscape around us, and the marks we leave upon it. My hope is that these pieces have a sense of relevancy in a culture driven by a need for change and newness.
ABOUT THE PRINT
This print is made in-house using archival pigment inks on heavyweight 100% cotton fibre archival paper. Each print is numbered by hand and comes with the artist's signature printed in the border.
Edition dimensions reflect actual paper sizes, not the printed image itself. While we try to maximize image size on all prints, a minimum border of .5 inches is left to allow for easy framing.
